Elvis 2009 Comeback Special
« on: May 07, 2009, 02:57:40 pm »
By way of the Ether and Duskrider this came to my attention.  If you are in the US then you may already have seen this.  I am not sure who originally wrote the email but I reproduce it here.  If you thought the holograms we have seen so far were good, then what about this ?

The Email :

Celine Dion and Elvis Presley - Incredible!!!!!
 
How did Celine Dion sing with Elvis on stage at the American Idol Gives Back show? Fans were freaked out and yet amazed and mesmerized.
 
For those of you that didn't see the show, Celine Dion appeared to walk out and stand next to Elvis as the two sang a duet of the classic "If I can Dream."
It was like he was raised from the dead.
Everyone has been asking how it was done.
ET said tonight it was a hologram. Totally amazing what they can do now.
Estimated cost of this was said to have cost between $50,000 and $100,000 and it is said that it took a long time to create.
Prior to the performance, Celine practiced with an Elvis impersonator.
However it was done, it was totally amazing. She sounded great singing with Elvis. The duet was very enjoyable.
Live simply.  Love generously.  Care deeply.  Speak kindly....Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.  It's about dancing in the rain.

Celine Dion in front of a LIVE Studio Audience. This is absolutely unbelievable how they have done this. It really - really does look for all the world that Elvis is actually standing there live on stage singing along side Celine Dion in front of the live American Idol audience. Watch and listen to the audience going berserk, as they themselves think they are actually seeing Elvis right there in front of them. A truly amazing use of modern day technology brings Elvis Presley back to life in front of you. Click below!

Yes, Very well done. A hologram? Nothing really new. A thing from the last century. I'm not amazed:



In stereo. ;D ;D ;D

I was quite impressed by the hologram, less so by Celine Dion...
